Token coins[edit]

Plantation tokens in the Dutch East Indies[edit]

The Sennah Rubber Co. Ltd. on the island of Sumatra, Netherlands East Indies issued machine-struck token coins that were shaped like cash coins.[1] These tokens were made of brass and were denominated in 5 liters of rice (Dutch: 5 liter rijst).[1] They were 30 millimeters in diameter and had a square central hole that was 8.4 millimeters in diameter.[1]

Yanshoutang pharmacy tokens[edit]

In the year 1933 the Yanshoutang (延壽堂) pharmacy in the city of Tianjin issued token coins that were shaped like cash coins.[2] These pharmacy tokens were made from silver and were Ø 32 millimeters.[3] The large obverse inscription around the square centre hole reads Yan Nian Yi Shou (延年益壽) which translates into English as "To live an extended life".[3] The top of the obverse side of the token has the text Yanshoutang Yaopu (延壽堂藥鋪) which means "Yanshoutang pharmacy" written from right to left inside of the rim of the coin.[3] The bottom of the reverse side reads Tianjin Fajie Majialou Nan (天津法界馬家樓南) which translates into English to "South of the Ma (馬) family building, French concession of Tianjin".[3] The large reverse inscription of these silver pharmacy tokens around the square centre hole read Yi Yuan Qian Zeng (一元錢贈), which translates into English as "Gift of 1 yuan".[3] At the top part of the rim it reads Yishi Bo Qi Sun Shengchang Faming (醫士伯岐孫盛昌發明) written from right to left which translates into English as "Doctor Bo Qi and Sun Shengchang inventors", while the inscription at the bottom of the rim reads Kaishi Jinian (開始紀念), which translates as "Commemorating the opening".[3] On the right and left side of the rim are Chinese characters Gui-You (癸酉) which indicates that it was produced in 1933.[3]

Tong-in Market Yeopjeon tokens[edit]

At the Tong-in Market (통인시장), a small market that was established in 1941 during the Japanese occupation period for Seoul's Japanese residents outside of the Gyeongbok Palace, people can purchase token coins shaped like yeopjeon ("leaf coins", the Korean tern for cash coins) at shops which are members of the "Dosirak Café" (도시락) project to spend at around 70 food stores and restaurants. The shops where these yeopjeon tokens can be spend have a sign stating "通 도시락 cafe" and these tokens can be bought in strings of 10 yeopjeon. A single one of these yeopjeon tokens cost 500 in 2014.[4][5]

Mikazuki-mura Edo coins[edit]

Cash coin tokens are used at the Mikazuki-mura (三日月村) theme park located in the Gunma Prefecture, Kantō region.[6] The theme park is based on a rural village during the Bakumatsu (the late Edo period) and includes a number of attractions such as a house filled with Ninja tricks.[6] On the premises of the Mikazuki-mura theme park visitors have to use "Edo coins" to make purchases as well as to pay for the attractions.[7][6] These tokens are purchased at a price of 100 yen (円) for 1 mon (文).[7] The tokens are identical to the historical Edo period Kan'ei Tsūhō (寛永通寳) and Tenpō Tsūhō (天保通寳) cash coins, but contain the text "三日月村" (Mikazuki-mura) written very small on their reverse sides.[7]


Shingi market "Shingi Tongbo" tokens[edit]

At the Shingi market (신기시장, 新起市場 or 新基市場) located in the city of Incheon, South Korea cash coin-shaped token coins made from brass can be used to pay for items.[8] These tokens have the obverse inscription Shingi Tongbo (新起通寶) and the reverse inscription O Baek (五百, written from left to right), these Chinese charachters indicate that each Shingi Tongbo token is equivalent to 500 (which was valued at $ 0.40 in the year 2019).[8] Foreign visitors are given 6 Shingi Tongbo token coins free of charge when entering the market (as of 2019),[8] tourists are given these cash coin-shaped tokens so that they can experience trading with ancient money.[9]

Furthermore, the entrance to the Shingi market is shaped like an elongated cash coin with the Chinese characters inscribed on it on both ends of the sign and the name of the market written in Hangul in the middle.[8]
